The Phoenician presence in the Iberian Peninsula significantly broadened the range of Mediterranean exotic and prestige goods available to local communities. The nature and role of these goods ...changed over time but also differed from area to area; a careful consideration of these imports therefore sheds significant light on the different historical trajectories of regional communities, as well as on the ideological underpinnings of their social and political structures.
Durante degli scavi d’emergenza condotti dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica nel 1971 in via Sabotino a Bologna, fu scoperta un’area funeraria con circa trenta tombe di cui si sono conservati ...27 corredi databili dall’ VIII all’inizio del VI sec. a.C. Le tombe sono inedite ad eccezione di alcune fotografie e di una pianta inattendibile, pubblicate nel 2012 in uno studio generale sulle necropoli villanoviane di Bologna. Inoltre parte dei materiali della tomba 11, quelli restaurati, sono stati presentati nella Mostra “Donne dell’Etruria Padana dall’VIII al VII sec. a.C.” tenutasi presso il Museo civico archeologico di Castelfranco Emilia nel 2015 e figurano nel suo catalogo. Nell’attesa della pubblicazione dell’insieme, sembra opportuno dare indicazioni sui 38 graffiti scoperti in 13 tombe. Essi completano lo studio classico di Sassatelli del 1985, dove furono esaminati 442 graffiti inclusi i 150 marchi provenienti dal ripostiglio di San Francesco a Bologna, senza però poter prendere in considerazione il loro contesto archeologico. Come si può aspettare, molti di questi graffiti sono semplici croci o marche a forma di tridente; tuttavia, uno presenta un interesse maggiore: una fusaiola, trovata in una tomba del periodo 675-650 a.C. comporta infatti l’inizio di un alfabeto del tipo evoluto (aev), privo delle lettere inusitate nella lingua etrusca (b o d) e seguendo gli standards grafici dell’Etruria del Nord, con l’uso della k invece della c. Sarebbe dunque l’esempio più antico di un tale alfabeto.
The article proposes a diachronic analysis of the evolution of roofs carpentry in Etruria from the Villanovan age to the Orientalizing period with incursions in the fifth and fourth centuries BC. The ...information kept in the funerary architecture - “faithful” reproduction of real environments even in the construction details - and the data inferable from the urns in the shape of a house crossed with the documentary sources, Vitruvius in particular, have allowed to formulate plausible hypotheses on the organization of the timber carpentry. The roofs of Iron Age huts, based on the fundamental criterion of equilibrium, comprised, at least for those with a rectangular plan, a king post, a columen and inclined members that provide the slope to the roof. This articulation, although persisting in the following centuries, varies in the quality of the component elements, which are squared and “sized” for the specific role played.
L'enquête porte sur l'Italie et les premiers temps du monde étrusque. Elle s'intéresse plus particulièrement à la période comprise entre un moment avancé du Premier âge du Fer et de la fin de ...l'Orientalisant (800-580 av. n.è.). Cette période charnière est celle du passage de la culture villanovienne à la culture étrusque. Les découpages chronologiques traditionnels ont entravé la lecture dans la diachronie de la documentation archéologique, et donc des transformations en œuvre dans la société étrusque. Dans ce travail, je me suis appuyée sur un corpus funéraire totalisant 771 tombes et plus de 10 000 objets provenant de trois sites parmi les mieux documentés de la Péninsule (Veio, Pontecagnano et Verucchio) pour reconstruire un cadre de développement chrono-culturel qui embrasse ces deux périodes traditionnellement disjointes. Ces analyses chronologiques étaient un préalable nécessaire à l'étude de dynamiques culturelles plus complexes qui ont amené à cette époque, les élites (proto) -étrusques à s'insérer dans ce grand courant méditerranéen que fut le phénomène orientalisant, et à s'attacher dans leurs tombes des biens et matières provenant d'Orient. La mise à plat de la documentation, ainsi que la périodisation élaborée dans ce travail permettent désormais de suivre dans une séquence continue et plus longue l'adoption des différents éléments orientaux par les communautés étrusques.
The present investigation deals with Italic peoples and the early days of the Etruscan world. It focuses more particularly on a period from the Early Iron Age to the end of the orientalizing period (800-580 B.C.). This crucial time shows the transition from Villanovian culture to Etruscan culture. The traditional chronological cuts have hindered the diachronical analysis of the archaeological documentation and, therefore, the ongoing social mutation of the Etruscan society. ln this research, I have used three major and well known funerary contexts (of Veio, Pontecagnano and Verucchio), totalizing 771 tombs and more than 10 000 artefacts, in order to reshape a precise chrono-cultural sequence which embraces those two periods, traditionally studied as separated chronological phases. My chronological analysis was a necessary precursor to the study of more complex cultural dynamics that occurred at this time in the Mediterranean Basin: the Orientalizing Phenomenon in which (proto)-Etruscan elites played an active role in using, as new identification criteria in their tombs, goods and raw materials coming from the Orient. The blank creation of the archaeological documentation and the new periodization created in this thesis work now allows us to follow, through a continuous and a longer sequence the adoption, by the Etruscan communities, of various oriental elements.
El objetivo del presente artículo es dar a conocer, con carácter preliminar, los resultados de la intervención arqueológica llevada a cabo en el yacimiento protohistórico conocido como Carambolo ...Alto, Camas (Sevilla). Nos centraremos en la identificación, descripción y evolución del conjunto monumental exhumado en la cima del cerro a lo largo de la excavación. Ésta se interpreta como un santuario orientalizante con base en los paralelos arquitectónicos localizados y el registro material exhumado.
